Your Primary was ‘The Otter’, with your Secondary coming in as ‘The Retriever’, and here are the descriptions of your Personalities, and how they can be used for God

Otter- Otters are very social creature. Otter personalities love people. They enjoys being popular and influencing and motivating others. Otter can sometimes be hurt when people do not like them. Otter personalities usually have lots of friends, but not deep relationships. They love to goof-off. (They are notorious for messy rooms.) Otters like to hurry and finish jobs. (Jobs are not often done well.) The otter personality is like Tigger in Winnie The Pooh.

Strength: People person, open, positive
Weakness: Talks too much, too permissive
Limitation: Remembering past commitments, follow through with discipline

Golden Retriever- Good at making friends. Very loyal. Retriever personalities do not like big changes. They look for security. Can be very sensitive. Very caring. Has deep relationships, but usually only a couple of close friends. Wants to be loved by everyone. Looks for appreciation. Works best in a limited situation with a steady work pattern.

Strength: Accommodating, calm, affirming
Weakness: Indecisive, indifferent, unable to express emotional, too soft on other people
Limitation: Seeing the need to be more assertive, holding others accountable

[E]xperience

My brief testimony of how I became a Christian

I walked down the isle when I was 10 to accept Jesus as my savior, As I got older I was drinking and partying in bars, one night I got in a terrible accident and I totaled my vehicle. I had my daughter in the car with me, Right after the incident, I was watching Robert Tilton ministries and I asked JESUS TO FORGIVE ME OF MY SINS AND SAVE ME, I ASKED HIM TO HELP ME BECAUSE I WAS A SINNER.

Ministry Experience (Where I have served in the past, if applicable, including ChurchName, City/State, Position, Years Involved):

I have worked as an Awana leader for a year at Hill Crest Baptist church in Jacksonville, I was an Olympian Leader at Russell Baptist church in Green Cove Springs for 5 years and a children’s church director at Congregational Holiness Church for a year, I now attend church at Gadara Baptist church in Keystone Heights, Florida. I teach children’s church once a month.

List 3 Positive experiences from the past that made a big impact on who you are today:

My grandmother was a Christian woman who loved the Lord with all her heart and she loved working with children.

I only went to the ninth grade. I got my GED when I was 24 and attended college at University of North Florida. I have a masters Degree in Special Education and 2 certifications. One in Special Education and the other Birth -4 year olds.

I have taught children with special needs for 16 years.

List 3 Negative Experiences from your past that have helped to Shape me, but also have given you great compassion for others going through similar circumstances:

My mother was abducted 9 years ago from her home and was presumed dead.

I was physically and sexually abused as a child and was placed in a girls home at age 16.

Wrapping It Up

The Challenge: Based upon your S.H.A.P.E. Assessment above (the way God wired you), If you knew you couldn’t fail … and ‘lack of money, or time’ was not an obstacle… list your Top 3 Things you would ‘Focus’ your Life on, next to #1 Loving God & #2 Loving Your Neighbor (these would be your ‘3 God-Sized Dreams’ for your life)?

1. My Relationship with GOD

2. My Relationship with Others

Putting Your Spouse First
Your Kids Second
Everyone Else After those

3. I would reach the lost (sinners before the return of Christ)

4. I would help the poor (food, clothing, etc.)

5. Continue teaching children with special needs.
